Sea salt's popularity has spurred the release of gourmet smoked sea salts, I kid you not. Think of salt, but now in flavors like hickory smoked, or pecan wood smoked, or herb blend.

SaltWorks, which says it's the world's largest gourmet salt company, announced on Thursday that its line of gourmet smoked sea salts is now certified OU kosher.

"We are really excited and proud of our smoked salt Kosher certification," remarked Mark Zoske, CEO of SaltWorks, in a press release. "This is a great development not only for our retail smoked salt products, but also for ingredients for the food industry. Our customers have been requesting Kosher certification for our smoked salt for years, and now we can deliver."

According to the company, SaltWorks's traditional artisanal sea salts have been certified Kosher since 2007, but smoked salts required a more exhaustive process to achieve this distinction.
